Matthew Henry’s (1662-1714) commentary on the whole Bible remains, to this day, one of the most popular and most beloved devotional commentaries ever produced in English. Charles Spurgeon called his work first among the commentaries, saying it was “trustworthy . . . deeply spiritual, heavenly, profitable; finding good matter in every text . . . suitable to everybody, instructive to all.”
In this new edition from Ichthus Publications, Matthew Henry’s devotional insight into each text of Scripture, along with the practical application he lays out for the reader, is captured in an easy-to-read format using modern type. Here is an unabridged edition that remains faithful to the work of the Puritan extraordinaire who has—and continues—to inspire and encourage countless Christians in their walk of faith. This is a must-have for every student of the Bible who wants a deeper knowledge of God and his word!
Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708-1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the author's death, the work was finished by a number of ministers, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811. Not a work of textual criticism, its attempt at good sense, discrimination, its high moral tone and simple piety with practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its English style, made it one of the most popular works of its type. Matthew Henry's six volume Complete Commentary, originally published in 1706, provides an exhaustive verse by verse study of the Bible. His commentaries are still in use to this day.
